After years in the making, Hillsborough’s 1.8-mile Riverwalk trail is finally, officially open.
The town marked the opening of Riverwalk with a formal ceremony and a public celebration on Saturday afternoon. Hundreds turned out to experience the trail and hear a proclamation from Mayor Tom Stevens.

Located along the Eno River, Riverwalk is part of the statewide Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Town officials first conceived of the idea in the late 1990s to promote active recreation, protect the town’s watershed, and generate activity downtown.

Mayor Stevens says it’s already working – as residents and visitors are already using the trail, not just for recreation but also as a transportation corridor.
Mayor Tom Stevens joined Aaron Keck on WCHL Monday to discuss Riverwalk and look back on Saturday’s public celebration.
